Well, my hearing is not that well but that is either a lifter ticking or spark jumping somewhere. Remove the oil cap and listen under there.

95-97 4 cylinders have rocker arm problems--they get worn to one side.

Sounds like this is a possibility

Sometimes a belt will shred and a piece of belt will go around and slap something but since it starts and stops like it does, I dont think thats what it is. Take a insulated screwdriver and move the plug wires around and see if you find one that is jumping fire.

Hi, its been a few day since i asked those question and i'm really thankfull.

I Look for the rocker arm and they seem pretty cheap to buy.

I also look for an How to online but there dont seem to be any about my engine, not even like a timming belt how to for this motor, Anyone would know where i could find one and why it is that way?

PS: i think i have a G13BA (SOCH 8V 1.3)

Either buy a factory service manual or go here http://www.autozone.com/autozone/myzone/profile/membershipBenefits.jsp and make a user name and password, log in and go to repair guides and put your vehicle in.
